Det Insp Mark Astbury said: “Initial enquiries suggest the man was beckoned into the road by three other men and a short scuffle ensued before the fatal stab wound was inflicted.

“In the space of minutes, the lives of this man’s family have been turned upside down and his children have been left without a daddy so I’m urging anyone who either witnessed the incident itself or has information that would help us, to get in contact.

“We will always treat information with the strictest of confidence and you can pass information to us anonymously but please, do it as a matter of urgency.”

Anyone with information should call police on 101 quoting reference number 2327 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
